Every Christmas, we ask ourselves the same question:

What gift can I give that will truly surprise someone?

If you’re tired of the typical presents that quickly expire, are forgotten in a drawer or fail to create any real emotion, this year it’s time for something different. More and more people are choosing to give getaways, a gift that is not just a present…

it’s quality time, disconnection and shared memories.

Why are getaways the best Christmas gift in 2025?

1. You’re giving them a chance to disconnect in a world that moves too fast

We live at full speed: work, commitments, screens and rushing around. A getaway is a mindful and well-deserved break.

A “let’s get away together” that becomes an emotional balm.

2. It suits anyone (and any relationship)

A perfect gift for:

• your partner
• your best friend
• your parents
• your in-laws
• a relative who needs a break
• someone celebrating something important

A getaway always works.

3. It’s memorable

Perfume runs out.

Clothes go out of fashion.

But a getaway leaves memories that stay with you.

4. It’s a flexible gift

Many experiences can be booked for a later date.

Ideal if you don’t know the exact dates.

6. It fits with the values of 2025

Wellbeing, mental health, connection, quality time and experiences.

A getaway is all of that in one gift box.

How to choose the ideal getaway as a Christmas gift

When we think about giving getaways, doubts may arise:

How do you choose the right one? How do you get it right?

Here’s a clear and simple guide:

1. Define the type of experience

Relax & Wellness

Perfect for someone who is stressed, couples who want to disconnect or anyone who has had an intense year.

Gastronomy & Wine Tourism

Ideal if you were looking for something like a gift for my boyfriend or for my girlfriend who loves eating, trying new things or enjoying a gourmet plan.

Romantic getaway

Special room, spa, dinner…

Perfect for surprising your partner at Christmas.

Cultural or urban getaway

For lovers of cities, museums and walks.

Getaway near the sea

The Mediterranean in winter is pure magic.

2. Keep their personality in mind

• Are they a foodie?
• Are they more into the sofa and a blanket, or adventure?
• Do they love the spa?
• Are they very active or more relaxed?
• Are they indecisive about choosing dates? Then give them a flexible voucher.

3. Choose the duration

You can give anything from:

• One-night getaways
• Gourmet getaways
• Stays with spa included
• Experiences with breakfast + massage
• Complete packages for two

You don’t need to go away for a week to disconnect.

Sometimes 24 hours are enough to recharge your batteries

4. Adjust your budget

If you’re looking for:

• an affordable gift → one night, a spa or a brunch
• a mid-range gift → getaway + dinner
• a special gift → boutique hotel or premium experience

At Hotel Treats, you can filter by price to choose without any hassle.

5. Give it a meaningful touch

Accompany the gift with:

• a letter
• a suggested date for the trip
• a “I want to experience this with you”
• a personal message

The details turn a getaway into the getaway.

What types of getaways can you give at Christmas (and which one should you choose for each person)?
